    The key takeaways are that there are different types of poetic devices including figurative language, sound effects, and rhyme that can be used in poetry.

    Some examples of poetic devices discussed are similes, metaphors, personification, alliteration, assonance, and onomatopoeia.

    Poetic Devices in Poetry


    Figurative Language
    Simile - the comparison of two unlike things by saying one is like
    or as the other.
    Example:
    Sunshine, like hope aglow, Streams from heaven's sky Bringing smiles of warming grace On breeze whispers like a sigh. Clouds are like ships in full sail Racing across the sky-blue sea. Wind fills the cotton canvas Pushing them further away from me.
    Vivian Gilbert Zabel
    Note: Sunshine is compared to hope while clouds are compared to ships.

    Figurative Language
    Metaphor - the comparison of two unlike things by
    saying one is the other. A literary figure of speech that uses an image, story or tangible thing to represent a less tangible thing or some intangible quality or idea.
    Example:
    Her eyes were glistening jewels.

    Figurative Language
    Personification- the giving of human traits to non-human things incapable of having those traits
    Example:

    Anger frowns aind snarls, Sending bolts of fire from darkest night That bring no brilliance, Rather only added blackness of sight.
    Vivian Gilbert Zabel
    Note: Frowning and snarling are human traits that anger cannot experience; however using them as traits for anger creates the imagery needed.

    Sound Effects
    Alliteration - the repetition of a beginning sound.
    Example: Rain reigns roughly through the day. Raging anger from the sky Partners prattle of tormented tears From clouds wondering why Lightning tears their souls apart.

    Vivian Gilbert Zabel


    Note: The r sound is repeated in the first two lines. In the third line, p starts two adjoining words.

    Sound Effects
    Assonance - repetition of vowel sound
    Example: the silken sad uncertain rustling of each purple curtain Edgar Allan Poe, "The Raven" And murmuring of innumerable bees Alfred Lord Tennyson, The Princess VII.203 The crumbling thunder of seas Robert Louis Stevenson Gradually kids who talked about Narnia kept getting balmier and balmier C.S. Lewis The Voyage of the Dawn Treader

    Sound Effects
    Onomatopoeia - the sound a thing makes
    Example:

    Roaring with the pain Caused by flashing lightning strikes, Thunders yells, "Booooom! Craaaashhhh! Yeow!" Then mumbles, rumbling on its way. Grrrr, the lion's cry echoes Through the jungle's den Causing creatures small To scurry to their holes.
    Vivian Gilbert Zabel
    Note: Roaring, rumbling, cry are not examples of onomatopoeia, but are verb forms. Boooom, craaaashhh, yeow, and grrrrr are examples of onomatapoeia.

    Sound Effects
    Rhyme - the correspondence of two or more words with similar-sounding final syllables placed so as to
    echo one another
    Example:

    And the silken sad uncertain rustling of each purple curtain Thrilled mefilled me with fantastic terrors never felt before So that now, to still the beating of my heart,I stood repeating: Tis some visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door.

    NOTHING GOLD CAN STAY


    Nature's first green is gold, Her hardest hue to hold. Her early leaf's a flower; But only so an hour. Then leaf subsides to leaf. So Eden sank to grief, So dawn goes down to day. Nothing gold can stay. Robert Frost
